The company is already looking at filling 40-50 positions, with potentially more jobs to come in the future.
The facility is already 90,000 square feet and has the potential to expand to over 300,000 square feet.
The plant will be used to supply medical markets in Canada with medicinal marijuana, along with recreational cannabis once it become legal in Canada.
Now they’re working on getting approval from Health Canada.
